Our Services

PERSONAL ASSISTANCEWe will cheerfully help you select threads/embellishments for any canvas, from any source, at no charge. We willcreate a Thread & Stitch Guide for any NSN canvas for a fee (depending on size and complexity). Due to timeconstraints, we cannot offer this service for canvases from other sources.

Should you need help with stitch selection or desire to learn a stitch/es, we offer Private Lessons ($20/hour) for anycanvas. If we are kitting a canvas for you in the shop, please let us know of any thread preferences--both those youlike especially and those you wish us to avoid.

FRAMINGNSN is pleased to offer excellent framing services for pictures and boxes. We carry a large selection of frame, fillet,and matte corners so that you may choose just the look you want. Our framer specializes in needlepoint and offersshaped mattes, cut-outs, and archival framing. Framing services generally take about two weeks.

FINISHINGWe use many stitchers from all over the country, depending upon their expertise with a certain item. Timerequirements vary, but eight weeks is the norm. If you have a specific deadline, please let us know up front so that wecan determine with the finisher if it can be met.

You do not need to supply fabric or other materials for finishing unless you have specific fabric. Most finishers willaccept your fabric as long as it is clean and sufficient to complete the project. Finishers do not offer lower pricesbecause you sent fabric to be used, and some will not accept slippery, stretchy, or upholstery-weight fabrics.

We want you to be happy with your finishing, so we ask many questions about your preferences. Please don't hesitateto give us any additional direction.

Our staff are all accomplished needlework craftspeople. We do stitch guides, kitting, and help our clients get the most out of the craft.
